Let it Roll

For those who turn justice into wormwood
And cast righteousness down to the earth.

Hate evil, love good

Love the good for all its worth
And establish justice in the gate!

Before it is too lateÖ

Let justice roll down like the waters

Let it roll

Wash away the senseless slaughter

Let it roll

Let it roll on like the thunder

Let it tear the darkness asunder

And let mercy flow down

In the river sin will drown

Let your justice and mercy redeem

Let righteousness roll like an ever flowing stream!

This is what the Lord requires- let it roll

OhÝ let him break forth like a fire- let it roll

To do justice and love mercy-

For righteousnessÝ to remain thirsty

And to hunger for the filling of our soulÖso let it roll.

Roll like thunder, rage like a river, let it flow

Let it be a righteous wonder to a world that needs to know

Let it tear asunder every lofty argument that is raised

That sets itself against the wisdom of the ancient of days!

Like a fiery flow of a volcano

Cut a course through the earth below

Till it consumes all in its wrath

And sears a straight and narrow path

A place where we can go.

Let justice roll down like the waters

Let it roll

Wash away the senseless slaughter

Let it roll

Let it roll on like the thunder

Let it tear the darkness asunder

And let mercy flow down

In the river sin will drown

Let your justice and mercy redeem

Let righteousness roll like an ever flowing stream!

Anthony Foster

Amos 5:24 ìBut let justice roll down like waters
And righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.
